Hi, everyone! My name is Abby and I’m so excited to serve as the current President of Dawgs for Israel! Israel is a place very close to my heart—I spent a year living there after high school volunteering in an elementary school, and have spent several summers there working and studying. I feel a deep Jewish connection to the land and people, but also love the vibrancy, color, history, and cultures of the region. I’m a second year studying International Affairs, I care deeply about environmental sustainability, and I love cooking and playing music. I can’t wait for the events we have planned this semester and to get to know all of you, so please come say hi!

Meet Hannah Lynch! She’s our VP of Education 👩🏻‍🏫 this year and we couldn’t be more excited! She’s a junior at UGA studying International Affairs and Arabic. Israel 🇮🇱 and Judaism ✡️ have been lifelong passions of hers. She was raised in a family of Zionists and has been obsessively researching these two subjects for years. This has given her a great desire to educate and foster this love in others, and by doing so, eliminate anti-Israel bias and anti-Semitism. Fun Fact about Hannah: she’s particularly interested in Hasidic community and is learning Yiddish. We’re going meshuggeneh over how amazing this girl is! Come schmooze with Hannah at one of our upcoming events, we can’t wait to see you!
